Shooting with verbiage

From JAMES WANJIK

VISION 2050 junta had been dethroned in July 2010 leadership games in government.

Vision is a dream written in few words.

Leaders envision and people set goals.

Vision 2050 is a death trap we are led to accept without question.

Rallying people support of a vision requires charisma.

Blaming and challenging public servants will not win people. Neither will agreements and communiques.

So what does Vision 2050 entail?

It is clear no worthy leader has waved green leaf marking peace after war.

Telling people to merely accept as given that by 2050 PNG will be smart, wise, fair, healthy and happy Vision 2050 adherents are reactionaries.

Vision is about plotting the future based on past and present situation.

Had we been told the truth we would not have been lied to, to accept Vision 2050.

Truth is PNG has not matched economic development underpinned by minerals with human development.

Vision 2050 has as its base potential proceeds from the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) prospect.

LNG prospect was a mad rush as we know.

ExxonMobil did not want to follow our law so our laws were amended to suit ExxonMobil.

By linking Vision 2050 to the LNG prospect PNG is mortgaged to ExxonMobil.

Vision 2050 is totally a bad sin and a crime against our pride as a nation. It is verbiage with no truth.

May all good people rally against Vision 2050.
